Seriously please give me the TLDR on this one. I’d rather get water boarded or contract covid than read that interview…

>Question: “The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that you have to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. You haven’t done so. Aren’t you disobeying the Supreme Court?”
>Answer: “Well, that’s not what my people told me—they didn’t say it was, they said it was—the nine to nothing was something entirely different.”
Completely painful and deluded interview to go through as usual with a lot of “I’m not aware of that” or “I don’t remember saying that”. Compiled some of the exchanges here
>!there are no deals!<
**Your trade adviser, Peter Navarro, says 90 deals in 90 days is possible. We’re now 13 days into the point from when you lifted the reciprocal, the discounted reciprocal tariffs. There’s zero deals so far. Why is that**
No, there’s many deals.
**When are they going to be announced?**
You have to understand, I’m dealing with all the companies, very friendly countries. We’re meeting with China. We’re doing fine with everybody. But ultimately, I’ve made all the deals.
**Not one has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them?**
I’ve made 200 deals.
**You’ve made 200 deals?**
100%.
**…**
*>!China isn’t budging!<*
**Will you call President Xi if he doesn’t call you?**
No.
**You won’t?**
Nope.
**Has he called you yet?**
Yep.
**When did he call you?**
He’s called. And I don’t think that’s a sign of weakness on his behalf.
**But you would think it’s a sign of weakness if you called him?**
I don’t–I just look—
**…**
*>!it was definitely the bond market lol!<*
**MrPresident, there was a period of time on April 9 when the bond market was under extreme stress and there was a risk of a financial crisis far beyond what the plummeting stock market suggested. I wasn’t worried**
What did your advisers tell you, though? You were in the Oval Office with Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick. What did they tell you to convince you to lift the reciprocal tariffs for the 90-day pause?
They didn’t tell me. I did that.
**What made you decide?**
It wasn’t for that reason.
**It wasn’t for the bond market?**
No, it wasn’t for that reason. I’m doing that until we come up with the numbers that I want to come up with. I’ve met with a lot of countries. I’ve talked on the telephone. I don’t even want them to come in.
**You said the bond market was getting the yips.**
The bond market was getting the yips, but I wasn’t. Because I know what we have. I know what we have, but I also know we won’t have it for long if we allowed four more years of the gross incompetence. This thing was just running—it was running as a free spirit. This was—this was the most incompetent president in history
**…**
*>!delusional !<*
**You said you would end the war in Ukraine on Day One.**
Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]. Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended.
**…**
*ಠ_ಠ*
**Well, do you want to grow the American empire?**
Well, it depends as an empire, it wasn’t, these are not things that we had before, so I’d view it a little bit differently if we had the right opportunity. Yeah, I think Greenland would be very well off if they I think it’s important for us for national security and even international security. I think Canada, what you said that, “Well, that one, I might be trolling.” But I’m really not trolling.
**Okay, we’ll move quickly then. Last note: Do you want to be remembered as a president who expanded American territory?**
Wouldn’t mind.
**…**
>!he read it for sure!<
**You were harshly critical of what you called the weaponization of the Justice System under Biden. You recently signed memos**
Well, sure, but you wouldn’t be—if this were Biden, well, first of all, he wouldn’t do an interview because he was grossly incompetent.
**We spoke to him last year, Mr. President**
Huh?
**We spoke to him a year ago.**
How did he do?
**You can read the interview yourself**
Not too good. I did read the interview. He didn’t do well. He didn’t do well at all. He didn’t do well at anything. And he cut that interview off to being a matter of minutes, and you weren’t asking him questions like you’re asking me.
